A Quiet Drama
Title: A Quiet Drama
Description:
A Quiet Drama is a serene panoramic oil painting of a white egret by a river among trees and blossom and wildflowers. It is 60x30x1.5 inches. The painting style is unique but could be described as semi-abstract style painterly art nouveau. The egret is stretching her wings over the river behind wild garlic and blossom trees and the hint of other riverside flowers. There are trees and fields beyond her but the egret is enclosed in the shade of a quiet river bank just doing what she does. This painting was inspired by my regular walks along parts of the river Medway and celebrates the occasional sighting of a white egret. It is always a pleasure to find these birds as they are so ethereal, white and elegant. I have used the colours of an English springtime (white, pinks, greens, blues and turquoise) to give this painting an ephemeral feeling as May does not last long enough in my opinion! The painting is dedicated to those people helping to get our rivers cleaned up so that wildlife can thrive in them. Painted on deep edge canvas, white edges, no frame needed and ready to hang.

Artist Biography:
Gill Bustamante is a professional artist based in East Sussex who creates large semi-abstract landscape, seascape and wildlife paintings in oil on canvas. Her painting style is very distinct and often fuses art-nouveau, impressionist and semi-abstract techniques with traditional portraiture that reflect her love of nature, animals, birds and the flora and fauna of the landscapes around her. She loves the ancient landscapes of England and her paintings often reflect the magical elements that such landscapes have. Gillâs main working method has been the development of a painting style she terms âmemory impressionismâ. This method involves going walking somewhere, looking at and absorbing the things she sees and experiences, and then returning home to her studio to try and capture an echo or essence of the place from memory - including any wildlife she may have seen. By this method, she captures precise moments in times at different seasons and the feeling she has about them. Gill completed a fine art degree in Brighton in 1983 and has painted since she was three. In her own words: âPainting always makes me happy along with cake, bunnies, driving erratically, BBC 6 music and totally irreverent comedyâ.
